High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Yasmin Alibhai-Brown (born Yasmin Damji on 10 December 1949) is a Ugandan-born British journalist and author. Currently a regular columnist for The Independent and the Evening Standard, she is a well-known commentator on issues of immigration, diversity and multiculturalism. She is a founder member of British Muslims for Secular Democracy. Alibhai-Brown has attracted criticism from many commentators. Michael Wharton has accused her of a fanatical pursing of political correctness: "At 3.6 degrees on the Alibhai-Brown scale, it sets off a shrill scream that will not stop until you've pulled yourself together with a well-chosen anti-racist slogan." Commentator Douglas Murray accused her of callously disregarding the lives of British soldiers killed in action: "The vindication of her own opinion is of more importance to her than the lives of British and American troops and Iraqi civilians." Stephen Pollard accused her of racism while calling her opinions "utterly vile" in The Spectator.
